The Coral are an English band formed in 1996 by school friends James Skelly, Nick Power, Bill Ryder-Jones, Lee Southall, Ian Skelly and Paul Duffy. The sextet began working on their own material almost as soon as they had learned to play their instruments properly. The band's music is a mixture of old-fashioned country, 1960s-style psychedelia and folk with modern rock influences.
The band was discovered in rehearsal by ex-Shack associate Alan Wills, who was impressed enough to set up the Deltasonic Records label for them. A recording contract with Sony Records was not long in following, and the Coral broke through into the mainstream in the new millennium with a series of releases that found them fêted as one of the UK's most original new acts.
Their 7th album Butterfly House was released on July 12, 2010 and produced by John Leckie (The Stone Roses, Radiohead). The album includes singles 1000 years and More Than A Lover. This is The Coral's first album without Guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones, who departed in 2008.
